Trump signals support for 15-week national abortion ban

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed support for a 15-week national ban on abortion with exceptions for rape, incest, and saving the life of the mother, citing the importance of winning elections. This stance was shared during a call-in radio interview on the “Sid & Friends in the Morning” show on WABC. Trump’s three appointees to the U.S. Supreme Court played a key role in overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022. He has not committed to signing a national ban into law but indicated a consensus around the 15-week mark. The Biden campaign has criticized Republican restrictions on reproductive rights, particularly after the Supreme Court’s decision, which led to restrictive abortion laws in nearly two dozen states. Trump mentioned he would discuss his views on a 16-week abortion ban soon, following a report by The New York Times about his private support for such a ban.
